I actually did try that before, with my 9yrs old holding the light ;-) Thanks a lot for your sharing of experience.

I have a sony f828 and just got a raynox dcr 150, will find a cheap flash to see if I can do a half decent job comparing to yours ;-)

Do you set up the flash on tank cover as the slave or your camera can trigger it with an extension? It's hard to find a flash that my sony can trigger directly, thinking to get a slave to be triggered by the on-camera flash, wondering how you set it up.

Seriously thinking to get a sony nex 6 and get a macro lens for it, but sony only has a 30mm macro lens for the nex series. Would like something > 60mm...
